She zipped up the vest. It was still way too big but she didn't care. She had to wear it today. She had a black tanktop underneath and she was wearing black jeans. She felt nervous. A lot had changed, she had changed. Would he even notice her? Would he even remember her? After all, it had been two years. She smiled to her mirror image.

"You got this," she said to herself.

She grabbed her bag and left her home.

She parked the car and walked towards the arena. She couldn't believe it had been two years since she was last here. It somehow seemed smaller the second time around although nothing had changed. Nothing but her, that was.

She walked inside and found her seat. She had spent a lot of money on a front row ticket. She wanted to see him up close. She was hoping he would notice her.

She sat down and started thinking back on the last time she was here. Tommy had brought her here to make her happy. Sweet Tommy. She sent him a thankful thought. She hoped all was well with him wherever he was these days. She had met Roman, Seth, Dean and Renee thanks to him. Oh Roman... how many times had he crossed her mind since that evening? How many times had she thought about him touching her thigh and whispering in her ear? Countless times. She shook her head, knowing she was stupid for thinking about him. After all, he had never e-mailed her like he had said he would. It didn't matter though. She knew he was a busy man and he had probably just gotten caught up in the moment with her and all the wine they had been drinking. She wasn't mad at him for not contacting her.

The show was about to start. She opened her bag and took out a sign she had made for Roman. She kept it in front of her legs while the show was going on. He was in the main event again. Funny thing is that he was going up against Seth again like two years ago. What was the odds for that happening? She didn't know but she was looking forward to it.

She heard his music start. She jumped to her feet, screamed and waved her sign in the air.

"I'M STILL ALIVE, ROMAN!" It said in big letters, and underneath in smaller letters: "I FOUGHT LIKE YOU TOLD ME TO!"

She held the sign high in the air as he walked down the ramp towards her.

It wasn't the sign or her screaming that caught his attention at first. It was his old vest with the yellow symbol. He looked at the vest, then at her face. He had a look on his face as if he couldn't believe it. He looked up at the sign and read it, then back to her face while a huge smile went across his face. He entered the ring, never breaking eye contact with her. He clearly remembered her. She jumped up and down in joy, screaming his name like everyone else.

Seth's music started and he entered the arena. As always he got a huge pop. People were screaming. He entered the ring and the match started. Just like two years before, they had a great match and Roman won. Seth rolled out of the ring and quietly went backstage again while Roman took in all the cheers.

He rolled out of the ring, went straight over to her and hugged her tight.

"I can't believe this," he said into her ear.
"Believe it," she said and laughed.

He pulled a bit away from her and looked her in the eyes.

"You look great," he said.
"You too," she said and smiled at him.
"Don't go anywhere," he said as he let go off her.

He went to the closest security guard, pointed towards her while saying something. The security guard nodded. Roman walked backstage.

People started leaving the arena. The security guard walked over to her.

"Roman asked for you to stay. I'm gonna stay here with you to make sure no one annoys you and that you don't go wander off," he said.
"Wander off?" She asked and laughed.
"Roman's words," he said and smiled.

They waited for the arena to clear out completely. The security guard took his walkey talkey.

"Tell Roman it's clear," he said to someone on the other end.

Two seconds later Roman came running down towards her.

"Oh my god, Venus!" He yelled as he ran towards her.

He put his arms around her again and pulled her over the barricade.

"I should have come sooner, had I known I'd get this warm of a welcome," she said and laughed.
"I can't believe it. I thought you were..." He said, stopping himself.
"Dead?" She asked.
"Well... yes," he said and looked down.
"Still breathing," she answered and walked over to the ring.

She put her hands on it, just to feel it. He walked over to her, grabbed her hips and lifted her up to sit on the apron. She leaned her back against the bottom rope, putting her arms to the side, feeling it. She allowed herself to be a fangirl for a few seconds while he was just watching her.

"We have a lot to talk about," he said, breaking her fantasies.
"We do, but first..." She said, stood up and walked into the ring.

She walked to the middle and spread her arms out to the sides.

"Spear me!" She yelled.

He laughed and rolled into the ring. He went to the corner like he was setting up for the spear. He bent backwards, roaring up into the air. Then he charged towards her. She closed her eyes, hoping it wouldn't hurt. He didn't spear her. Instead he lifted her up and swung her over his shoulder.

"Hey, that's not fair," she laughed.

He carried her out of the ring, down the stairs and up the ramp. Once they reached the top of the ramp, he put her down.

"I need to shower and get changed but after that, I'm taking you out to get something to eat," he said.
"Okay," she said.

They walked backstage together. They bumped into Renee in the gorilla.

"Renee, do you remember Venus?" He asked.
"Oh my god!" Renee said and hugged her.
"Would you mind keeping her company while I shower?" He asked.
"No, not at all. We're gonna grab a cup of coffee in the catering," Renee answered.

He nodded and watched the two women walk away together. He hurried to the locker room.
